Cannon Raceway

About Cannon Raceway

Cannon Raceway is a large indoor multi-activity centre on Cannon Business Park in Bilston, near Wolverhampton. Karting is the headline act — a 500-metre indoor tarmac circuit — but the venue is built for a full day out: alongside the track there is a 4,000-square-foot 3D laser tag arena and escape rooms, which is why it works so well for parties and mixed groups where not everyone wants to race. It is open seven days a week and, with a 4.5 average across more than 1,270 Google reviews, it is one of the busier and better-rated karting venues in the West Midlands.

The Circuit

The 500m indoor layout is designed to be fun rather than intimidating, and it has some genuinely unusual features for an indoor track: a rollercoaster-style flyover, a hairpin underpass where the circuit crosses over itself, and a high-speed banked slingshot corner. Adults from 14 race Biz karts with 200cc Honda engines that reach around 45mph, while juniors aged 8 to 13 drive governed 160cc cadet karts on the same layout. The multi-level design keeps every lap interesting and gives beginners plenty to enjoy while still rewarding drivers who learn where to carry speed.

Who Should Visit

This is a strong choice for families, birthday parties and mixed-ability groups. Junior karting caters for ages 8 to 13 and adult karting for 14 and over, so parents and older children can race together, and younger kids or non-drivers can still join in via laser tag (from age four) or the escape rooms. Children's party packages and school and youth-group bookings are all catered for.

It is equally set up for grown-up racing and events: session formats run from solo races and open karting through to Grand Prix and team races for larger groups, and there are dedicated corporate packages — handy for a work team day where you want karting plus another activity under one roof.

Planning Your Visit

Cannon Raceway is at Unit 4/5, Cannon Business Park, Gough Road, Bilston, West Midlands (WV14 8XR), open seven days a week from around 9am until late. Being fully indoors, sessions run year-round whatever the weather, and the multiple activities make it easy to turn a visit into a half-day rather than a quick session.

Advance booking is recommended, especially for weekends, parties and corporate days. Prices are mid-range for UK indoor karting; confirm current rates, session times and the exact age and height requirements directly with the venue before you travel, as these vary through the year.
